    Fairly normal download rate for me, just a few minutes.
    It will be interesting to see if/how it would be positioned for private home users. Less settings are very useful for some.
    I'm sure details will emerge over time.

    I don't see an option to do that within the present program configuration scheme. However, since SpiderMail is a separate module, disabling the load (Start>Run>msconfig <enter>, select Startup Tab, uncheck spiderml entry, press OK (you'll get an access denied entry, ignore it), reboot) will acoomplish the same end result.

    Use at your own risk, although I don't believe there will be any untoward results. As it is, the spam filtering is rather innocuous at the moment, simply adding a subject line [SPAM] tag prefix and taking no other action on the mail.

    From the help file it would appear that user customizable SpiderMail settings will be available but have yet to be implemented.

    dr.web should do more on the quarantine option, it should do something like others do: rename/encrypt the infected file then move to quarantine folder, not just move the original file to the infected! folder.

    one i like very much is nod32, it has one option of "move newly created file to quarantine" which i dont see at other AV.
    imagine the situation: when extracting a zipped file with 10 infected files, and the onaccess scan option set to ask for action, i dont want to click 10 times quarantine.

    As AndreyKa has just mentioned, and as explicitly noted in the comment that I quoted above some time ago, there's absolutely nothing enigmatic above the AV-Desk product. It's the platform for an ISP (or large enterprise for that matter) to use in order to have a centrally deployed and administered Dr Web based AV solution.
